As above, so below: assessing extremeness of the neutron-star equation of state based on the unstable branch
Tyler Gorda, Oleg Komoltsev, Aleksi Kurkela +1
Microscopic models of neutron-star matter have been widely used in astrophysical applications. The focus of attention has been on densities up to the maximal densities reached in s…
Equation of state at neutron-star densities and beyond from perturbative QCD
Oleg Komoltsev, Rahul Somasundaram, Tyler Gorda +3
We explore the consequences of imposing robust thermodynamic constraints arising from perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) when inferring the dense-matter equation-of-state (E…
Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars
Alessandro Lovato, Travis Dore, Robert D. Pisarski +61
Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…
Ab-initio QCD calculations impact the inference of the neutron-star-matter equation of state
Tyler Gorda, Oleg Komoltsev, Aleksi Kurkela
We demonstrate that ab-initio calculations in QCD at high densities offer significant and nontrivial information about the equation of state of matter in the cores of neutron stars…
How perturbative QCD constrains the Equation of State at Neutron-Star densities
Oleg Komoltsev, Aleksi Kurkela
We demonstrate in a general and analytic way how high-density information about the equation of state (EoS) of strongly interacting matter obtained using perturbative Quantum Chrom…
Initial conditions for hydrodynamics from kinetic theory equilibration
Aleksi Kurkela, Aleksas Mazeliauskas, Jean-François Paquet +2
We use effective kinetic theory to study the pre-equilibrium dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. We describe the evolution of linearized energy perturbations on top of out-of-equilib…
